"Good Morning Anne, I have just got back into the office and would like to let you know how happy we were with our guide in Beijing. Joanna was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, fun and patient (which is important with two young boys in the group) and Mr. Pang (our driver) did a great job getting us around the city. I always like to give compliments for a job well done. I will (and have already) recommended the tour to friends and look forward to booking another Swain tour in the future as we continue our travels. Thanks for everything."
— C. Ryan, Toronto

SWAIN boasts a solid reputation in building relationships with various hotel and tour operators around the world. We search for products that are of unquestionable quality as well as for those that are unique to ensure we are able to offer SWAIN travelers a second-to-none travel experience. The services featured below were hand-picked to receive the seal of approval as a 'SWAIN Preferred' experience. To incorporate any or many of these choices into your itinerary is to ensure your trip will be that extra bit special and that you will be received not just as a special guest, but as a SWAIN special guest.

Some of these experiences, such as trekking less visited sections of the Great Wall in China and staying at an authentic Japanese ryokan, are unique to Asia and are truly exceptional additions to your travel plans. From being showered by Jasmine buds by a monk in a traditional flower blessing in Cambodia, to attending cooking classes in Thailand, we look forward to sharing our preferred selections with you.
